Serious escalation on NATO's eastern flank.

Three russian MiG-31 fighters (heavy interceptors capable of being equipped with hypersonic Kinzhal missiles) violated Estonian airspace and approached the capital, Tallinn, to within approximately 5 nautical miles (approximately 9 km).

The aircraft circled there for approximately 12 minutes without a flight plan, transponder, or radio contact.

This was not a mere "overflight," but a provocative approach to a NATO member, which can be interpreted as a test of the Alliance's responsiveness.
NATO responded promptly: Italian F-35A stealth fighters were placed on alert from the ร„mari base in Estonia and deployed to counter the attack. However, there was no exchange of fireโ€”the russian jets withdrew as soon as the F-35s were within range.
